Jailbreaking is officially legal

While legal, wouldn't this still void your warranty?

It's a step in the right direction, but next we need a law prohibiting manufacturers from voiding warranties for installing mere software.

Bonus points, if there is a law preventing manufacturers from unilaterally locking general computing devices down in the first place. It should be required to build in an open mode for whoever wants to use it. Locking a computer in a default state for security reasons is fine, but give users the option. It's in the consumer's best interest.

The very restrictive app store approval process, under which an app can be denied because Steve Jobs doesn't like the way an app looks (or more realistically, interferes with Apple's business model) is among the most evil thing Jobs has ever done. It's genuinely evil.

Good first steps from the US government, but we still have far to go.
